You have been tasked by a pharmaceutical company to generate a novel strain of Cannabis sativa for therapeutic purposes. Consider a Cannabis strain with three genes (called gene 1, gene 2 and gene 3) that are on different chromosomes and assort independently. Each gene has two alleles, described below:The T allele for gene 1 is dominant and associated with the trait of producing a large amounts of terpenes, and the t allele is recessive and associated with the trait of producing a low amount of terpenesThe S allele for gene 2 is dominant and associated with the trait of fast growth, and the s allele is associated with the trait of slow growthThe F allele for gene 3 is associated with the trait of producing large flowers, and the f allele is associated with the trait of producing small flowersAssume that an individual plant that is heterozygous for genes 1 and 2, but homozygous ff for gene 3 self-fertilizes. What is the probability of getting a plant that produces a large amount of terpenes, grows slowly, and produces small flowers? Explain your reasoning and show your work, if necessary.

Question

You have been tasked by a pharmaceutical company to generate a novel strain of Cannabis sativa for therapeutic purposes. Consider a Cannabis strain with three genes (called gene 1, gene 2 and gene 3) that are on different chromosomes and assort independently. Each gene has two alleles, described below:

The T allele for gene 1 is dominant and associated with the trait of producing a large amounts of terpenes, and the t allele is recessive and associated with the trait of producing a low amount of terpenes
The S allele for gene 2 is dominant and associated with the trait of fast growth, and the s allele is associated with the trait of slow growth
The F allele for gene 3 is associated with the trait of producing large flowers, and the f allele is associated with the trait of producing small flowers

Assume that an individual plant that is heterozygous for genes 1 and 2, but homozygous ff for gene 3 self-fertilizes.

What is the probability of getting a plant that produces a large amount of terpenes, grows slowly, and produces small flowers? Explain your reasoning and show your work, if necessary.
